A recent study shows that more than half of all adults and a third of young people worldwide will be overweight or obese by 2050.
Currently, nearly half of adults are affected, with rates doubling since 1990. If trends continue, 57% of men and 60% of women will be overweight or obese by 2050. The highest numbers are expected in China, India, and the U.S., while sub-Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria, will see a sharp rise.
Experts warn that this growing crisis threatens global healthcare systems. However, they emphasize that urgent government action can still prevent a full-scale obesity epidemic.
Researchers highlight the need for targeted interventions, especially for children and adolescents. Prevention strategies are crucial to reducing future health risks and societal costs.
